Is Frank Abagnale a Democrat?
Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 04:28 PM by AtLiberty
I sure wish we could interest this guy in volunteering to expose election fraud... Who better? He has said that computers have increased the risk for fraud...that's it's much easier now than his salad days.

"Mr. Abagnale believes that punishment for fraud and recovery of stolen funds are so rare, prevention is the only viable course of action."

2. Not a bad idea, I've been thinking Vincent Bugliosi would be good too
But I doubt he'd do it for free (not that I'd blame him)

4. If you read his book
you will learn that he's very much an old-fashioned conservative Republican. Can't say what he thinks of the current administration, but he clearly believes in strict punishment when the wrongdoers are caught. In fact, even though he says he would have died had he had to return to prison in France, he still thinks the hard time he served there was right.

I don't understand his apparent thinking it really was okay to have prison conditions so severe that someone dies. Do not think, based on that sentence quoted by AtLiberty, that he's a DU kind of guy. Or even a Democrat by affiliation or inclination.

5. If he's a Republican...
...maybe he advised them on the 2004 election???

Just joking...I doubt he'd go down that road again.
